Draft Grade — Cowboys
Overall B
ValueB+ NeedB TradesB- FutureB-
The Cowboys did the meat-and-potatoes work well: B.

When the story of this class is written, it opens with Jasheen Davis at Round 6, Pick 11, a reach of 122 spots that the board flatly disagrees with.

Landing Mondon Jr. that late papers over a lot of smaller sins. If this class has a fault line, it runs straight through quarterback. Job largely done: wide receiver settled and 6 of 8 of the wish list covered.

They trusted the board more than the depth chart.

A tidy weekend of work that should hold up just fine.

Pick Analysis
Pick12 Rnd1 Ashton Jeanty
In slot 12 they get a lead back with juice at a price that makes it sweeter.
Pick44 Rnd2 Derrick Harmon
Derrick Harmon is a better player than the 44th overall pick suggests; smart patience, rewarded. It fills a real need, too.
Pick76 Rnd3 Jalen Royals
Jalen Royals in the 76th pick is a bargain the rest of the room will envy. It answers the question that was keeping the coaches up at night.
Pick148 Rnd5 Jake Majors
Circle this one: Jake Majors at pick 148 is a fall that decides a draft. A glaring weakness, addressed head on.
Pick168 Rnd5 Smael Mondon Jr.
Taking Smael Mondon Jr. in the Round 5 slot is close to grand larceny; a linebacker that good had no business lasting this long. A must-fix position, and they treated it like one.
Pick170 Rnd5 Sonny Styles
Sonny Styles in No. 170 is the kind of fall that makes a whole class. A minor itch, scratched.
Pick173 Rnd5 Davison Igbinosun
A swing that ignored the value entirely, Davison Igbinosun well ahead of where he belonged. Top of the wish list, and they did not leave without it.
Pick186 Rnd6 Jasheen Davis
Jasheen Davis in No. 186 is a reach so steep the board needed a second look to believe it. It adds depth where they could use a little.
Pick209 Rnd6 J.C. Davis
This one needs a full-page explanation: J.C. Davis in pick No. 209, miles early. The one spot they could not leave alone, and did not.
Pick248 Rnd7 Jack Kiser
They barely believed it either: Jack Kiser still on the board at the 248th overall pick. This was priority one on the needs board, and now it is handled.
